Commercial

Our advice on commercial matters is never only about commercial law. We employ a multi-disciplinary approach combined with industry insight to deliver solutions that withstand commercial and regulatory scrutiny and provide clients with sets of conditions that safeguard their interests under regular circumstances or in litigation. In international commercial contexts we pay considerable attention to tax and customs implications, as well as private international law and treaty considerations that play a role in defining the appropriate terms of contract.

Advertising

Agency and Representation

Assignments

Consultancy

Distribution and franchise

General terms of business

Insurance

Leasing

Operation and maintenance

Rentals

Security Agreements
